Live out your Italian vacay dreams at the Gondola Rides at The Venetian in Las Vegas – a must-do experience that adds a touch of romantic charm to your time in Sin City.
Glide beneath picturesque bridges, beside quaint cafes, and under balconies, all while coasting down the Grand Canal in an authentic Venetian gondola. Once you choose whether you want an indoor or outdoor ride, you’ll be serenaded by your personal singing gondolier!
When the Vegas sun isn’t blazing down hard on the Earth, consider opting for the outdoor ride. The open skies provide more privacy, and the natural lighting makes your photos look that much better.
If you really want to do an outdoor ride during the summer, a sunset ride offers a delightful escape from the sun’s intensity. Visiting during winter? Keep in mind that Las Vegas winters can get chilly, so bundle up warmly if you plan to enjoy the outdoor experience!
Looking to experience something extra unique that not too many get to witness? Try to catch the Gondolier March, where a team of gondoliers sing in unison as they march along the indoor canal. Catch this special tradition twice a day at 9:45 a.m. and 4:20 p.m. at the gondola turn-around in the Grand Canal Shoppes.
Each gondola can seat four, so it doesn’t have to be just a romantic outing for couples, but also a fun way to be transported to Italy with your family/friends!
